Introduction
- Benefit Premiums are due every two weeks and are usually paid through the biweekly payroll cycle.
- Suppose an employee does not receive enough pay to cover the total deductions during the bi-weekly payroll cycle. In that case, they must pay the total benefit premium (both employee and employer portions) directly to ADOA. You will be billed for the premiums owed.
Failure To Pay
- If an employee fails to pay premiums on or before the due date, the employee's benefits will be terminated retroactively to the last day of coverage for which the premiums were paid in full.
- An employee whose coverage has been canceled for non-payment will be responsible for any expenses incurred related to benefit services received after the last day of coverage.
